GAcoaster Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Last December Shapiro mentioned SFMM getting a new coaster which is why RCDB lists it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

29yrswithaGApass Posted September 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Yep, plans do change (and most likely will) but until then, we'll go with this. Source: LA Times Magic Mountain ‘highly profitable’ despite bankruptcy cloud looming over Six Flags This entry was posted on Monday, March 16, 2009 at 2:29 pm. I spoke today to Six Flags President and Chief Executive Mark Shapiro about the future of the amusement park company in the wake of a New York Times story that asked the question: Will parents let their children ride a roller coaster owned by a bankrupt company? Six Flags remains in discussions with bondholders in an attempt to restructure its enormous debt load and keep the company out of bankruptcy court. Shapiro said safety remains a top priority for Six Flags, which operates Magic Mountain in Valencia and Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo in Northern California, along with 10 more amusement parks in the United States and Mexico. Six Flags, which has $200 million on hand, plans to increase hiring and expand maintenance in 2009, Shapiro said. “The guest won’t see a difference this summer,” Shapiro said. Despite the perilous economic climate, Shapiro said Six Flags’ focus remains on planning for the amusement park chain’s 50th anniversary in 2011 and continued international expansion. The Six Flags Dubailand project, solidly funded and now in the design and development stage, could see its 2012 debut delayed by up to a year, Shapiro said. The Dubai park will include two “world-class coasters” — one wood, one steel — on the order of El Toro and Kingda Ka in New Jersey’s Great Adventure park, Shapiro said. The recently announced Qatar project, still in the conceptual stage, will emphasize water rides — taking the daunting desert heat into consideration. Additionally, Shapiro said Six Flags is in discussions to develop an amusement park-water park-hotel project just outside Johannesburg, South Africa. A similar project in South Korea is “close to fruition,” he said. Closer to home, Shapiro said Six Flags Magic Mountain is coming off one of it’s best seasons ever. “Magic Mountain is highly profitable,” Shapiro said. “And we intend to keep it that way.” Shapiro said Magic Mountain will get a new roller coaster in 2010 and a Wiggles World kiddie land by 2011. The adjacent Hurricane Harbor water park will see a new attraction in 2010, he said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoasterPrince Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 I agree. It was a magical parade and I am going to be upset if we don't have it come 2010. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warnerleroy Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 With SFNE getting Glow in the Park back, I think it is safe to assume Great Adventure won't have it next year. What makes you think that? It's VERY popoular, SFNE isn't as popular as GA. I think Glow is safe in NJ! If it came back in 2009, I think it will be perfectly fine in 2010.

29yrswithaGApass Posted September 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 We at SFNE have our own floats in storage for it. So the floats never went anywhere since 2008? They just sat backstage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acq10uaz Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 Yeah, it was supposed to be back last year but there were budget cuts and they've been sitting in the preferred lot storage tents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrceagle Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 Interesting news so far. I am curious when they will release info about the other parks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted October 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 There are still several parks that don't have anything announced for next season. I think it will be a relatively low-key construction season in 2010 as they focus all of their resources on 2011. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True though i would expect those park not getting rides will get a show or similar attraction that can be marketed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acq10uaz Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 Here is a SFNE update. Nothing new for 2010 except painting and park maintenance. Also we are getting a few new floats for our GITPP. So we are not taking GAdv, that is confirmed. No waterpark expansion at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
